Naoki Urasawa's Monster: Volume 2 by Naoki Urasawa

CAUTION: SPOILERS FOR PREVIOUS VOLUME APPEAR IN THIS REVIEW.

The boy Dr. Tenma sacrificed his career to save has grown up- and become a serial killer. Horrified by deaths he blames himself for, he sets out to discover why this happened and see if he can stop this dangerous young man.

This series showed promising plot in the initial volume and has truly stepped up to the plate with this one, introducing fabulous new characters and a new mission for our Doc. Now the question looming for Vol. 3 is, what happens when we start to swing?

The art in this series is not pretty, it is too harsh and focused on the ugly parts of life we all try to ignore, but is very polished and it is clear the artist has put a lot of work into it.

4 Stars
